Field Programmable Circuit Boards in Design - A 21st Century Approach to Remote Distance Learning for a Rapid Turnaround Heterogeneous System Prototyping Lab

在下一个世纪，计算机网络将使大学教育发生巨大的变化。学生们最终可能能够以电子方式进入他们选择的大学，同时仍然住在家里，这可能会对收入微薄的家庭产生有利影响。残疾学生或军事设施的军人和妇女。特别感兴趣和吸引力将是在家里工作的父母有兴趣追求学士学位或更高的学位。卫星传输和多媒体显示已经开始了这一进程。一个仍然存在的困难是将实验室经验转换为远程访问。就其本质而言，实验室仍然在课程中，因为他们教学生许多在其他课程中找不到的实践基础。实验室强调实验方法的重要性，如仪器，测量和误差控制。本提案侧重于一个实验室，其经验可以封装为远程腿。该方法相当通用，并提供了一个模型，或如何在一系列实验室中应用这些技术。我们将开发的课件将使实验室可以远程访问。这将使学生能够在家中创建设计，在远程实验室中实施，并使用远程访问的仪器验证正确或不正确的操作。在短期内，这将使校园里的学生有更多的机会进入实验室。但一旦连接成功不在主校区的学生也可以使用。这种远程访问模式。各种各样的在线文档。将自动保证我们的同事可以通过互联网访问所开发的概念。这将增加SF投资的影响，确保结果，代码。和技术将很容易在全国范围内传播到其他机构，该方法的MAN特征是通用的，适用于其他实验室。

In the next century university education will be dramatically transformed by computer networks. Students may eventually be able to attend e university of their choice electronically while still living at home, something which could favorably impact families of modest means,. students with disabilities, or servicemen and women at military installations. Particular interest and attraction would be to work-at-home parents interested in pursuing a bachelors or advanced degree. Satellite transmission and multimedia displays have already begun this process. One difficulty that remains will be converting laboratory experiences to remote access. By their nature, laboratories remain in the curriculum because they teach the student many practical sills not found in other courses. Laboratories stress the importance of experimental methods such as instrumentation, measurement, and error control. This proposal focuses on one laboratory whose experiences could be encapsulated for remote leg. The approach is fairly generic and provides a model or how such techniques could be applied across a spectrum of laboratories. The courseware which we will develop will make the lab remotely accessible. This will enable students to create designs at home, implement them in a distant laboratory, and verify correct or incorrect operation with remotely accessible instruments. In the near term this will permit students on campus to have much greater access to the lab. but once the linkage works. students not on the main campus will be able to use it also. This remote distance access mode. long with various on line documents. will automatically guarantee that he concepts developed will be accessible to our colleagues over the internet. This will increase the impact of the SF investment, assuring that the results, code. and techniques would be readily disseminated to other institutions on a national scale, with man features of the approach being generic and applicable to other labs.
